The error occurs when I try to load the disk. It doesn't show any files at all.

What do you mean by reading the filestructure? If you mean the helpfile, I did read that and it didn't really help. Also if you mean 'are you using the correct sample file extensions or sizes', those are also correct (got them from http://aminet.net/mods/inst, which should be the right format).

So it seems you have "just" a filetransfer problem. You want a OFS (I guess) formated disk with sample files. One solution is to get fat95 (Aminet) on a OFS formated disk that can be used with your A500. Then you can use pc formated disks. You still need to copy the files to a OFS disk for use with PT.

I do not own a workbench disk, this is a problem right?

Anyway, there is no way to format a 'normal' 1,4mb hd floppydisk into a amiga formatted disk with files on it? (I read something about putting tape on the 'newer' disks on the extra hole?)

This will be a long thread. There are several ways to get files to an A500 from a PC. Bearing in mind that some may only work with a later KickStart/WorkBench, It would help if you had a full install of OS 3.1, your PC has a serial and parallel port (a Catweasel MK3 or 4. -- unlikely, but miracles do happen), and a recent copy of the AmigaForever CD or DVD. With a PC parallel port, search for "the fastest, easiest,.. way to transfer" and Greek guy "Ikonsgr" who has a solution for this problem. You can use a PC serial port and the Amiga Forever transfer program, although you need to have the program also running on your A500. With a Clockport adapter you could add a Subway USB to your A500. With a CDROM drive, you could read CDs but you would be looking for a SCSI or IDE solution and a HDD. With a modem, you could connect to the Internet and download the files directly.
